Trace missed calls

Ever got a missed call which got you wondering who was that? Most probably yes. But you had no means to figure out the caller and the only option you had was to forget about it.

Now you can at least get to know the location and operator of the mobile from which you got the call which is a quite big hint in itself!

Here are two online tools to help you:
1. http://trace.bharatiyamobile.com/
2. http://www.internet4mobile.com/mobile_number_information.aspx

Uhmm.. not impressed? Here is something which makes it yet easier!
Download this small Java Application for your mobile and trace any number on the move.

Special thanks to Amrik Singh for this information.

Important Note: Sharing the precise name and address details of mobile number is crime in India. It is against the privacy law. Land lines are more associated to houses or organizations, where as Mobile is very personal. The purpose of this tool is to give you some directions of location of mobile, so that if you call the person, you know how you'll be billed. Or you could recall the person by knowing the state and operator
